I have been through the IPMASQ HOWTO and I appear to have everything working 
well:
- I have an NT machine connected via Token-Ring to a RedHat 6.2 machine 
which accesses the internet through a modem (PPP with dynamic addressing).
- I am running SQUID for caching and proxy-ing (not transparent).
- Dial-on-Demand (using DIALD) works fine and I can browse the web without 
any problems from NT using the semi-strong ruleset included in the HOWTO.

However once the link goes down following the idle timeout no amount of 
requests from the browser will kick the link into action. I have flushed te 
ruleset and Dial-on-Demand is restored but this seems rather a blunt 
approach. I have also tried adding a rule for sl0 to allow UDP port 53 on 
the input to see if this would allow it to work but without success.

So is the best approach to flush the ruleset in 'ip-down' or is there a 
better way?

TIA.
